Detailed Description

Cloyes 9-0705SB is engineered as a complete timing system service part for Ford Fusion, Ford Escape, Ford Ranger, Ford Transit Connect, and Lincoln MKZ applications listed in the fitment data. Cloyes uses CAD-based design and advanced materials, then tests timing components for function and durability to help maintain proper valve timing and dependable engine operation. The kit includes the core timing drive components commonly replaced during timing service: chain, sprockets, guides, and tensioner.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring correct camshaft and crankshaft synchronization
• Addressing timing chain noise from worn chain or guides
• Replacing stretched or fatigued timing components during engine service
• Correcting timing-related drivability concerns caused by timing wear
• Refreshing the timing drive on high-mileage Ford and Lincoln engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code, timing cover configuration, and exact vehicle application before installation. Follow factory timing marks and service procedures closely, and inspect related seals, sprockets, and tensioning components for wear while the timing system is open. Because this is a front timing application on the listed vehicles, proper alignment during assembly is critical to engine performance.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes manufactures timing system components to meet or exceed OEM performance requirements, with CAD-designed parts and durability testing used to support consistent fit and operation. The 9-0705SB is built as a standard replacement timing chain kit for the listed Ford and Lincoln applications.
